If I were entitled to only one pair of shoes I would go with black Chinese Mary Janes. Why? To begin with they are affordable. Sturdy cotton, silk, and velvet Chinese shoes go with any fabric in any season, dressy or casual. I have seen them on teenage girls, middle age executives and little old ladies. They fit any type of foot because they simply take the shape of the foot they are on, and the little strap makes the foot look smaller.

You get the best of both worlds with the Valerie loafer from Naturalizer. This feminine loafer provides you with comfort and top notch style with the semi-polished smooth leather upper, round toe, apron style front with stitch detail, smooth leather lining, a generously cushioned insole, and a textured rubber outsole. Not only is the Valerie office appropriate, it is great for weekend wear too.

A sultry stiletto heel and a slim slingback strap make this high heel a sexy choice. The Paloma's silky vamp is beautified by a unique half-bow and a double-tiered crystal ornament. This luscious pump with a non-slip rubber outsole is perfect for any formal occasion or night on the town.
